Im sure that if you cant find a dress you love with sleeves, you can have sleeves made for one.
How about getting the dress you like, but adding a bolero to it?
What about something vintage style? I'm picturing it in my head, seriously!
PS i'd totally sew this bad boy. Can you?
An alchemy request sounds ideal for you though
See if she'll add sleeves. this is GORGEOUS with queen anne's lace so it's elegant yet casual
I can't sew worth a flip! But, yea, I'm totally picturing something vintage...but I'm really nervous about the expense of a vintage gown.
Here's a vintage lace one and it's only $175. I think you'd be surprised it's not too pricey

For $150, this is very "sweet" and romantic. You could alter it to the knee: http://www.etsy.com/listing/48945090/sophie-vintage-wedding-dress-victorian?ref=sr_list_9&ga_search_query=white+vintage+wedding+dress&ga_search_type=&ga_page=&min=50&max=500&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title
or
this is sleeveless but it's really neat looking and I think you could have the sleeves added since the seller said she would create the dress for you. But it's also $500
Love this first one by Sposa. The second is from Maggie that comes with a bolero.
This is pretty, too: http://www.etsy.com/listing/40517440/vintage-1950s-bridal-bride-white-lace for $145.
not quite sleeveless by lace style sleeves http://www.sydneysvintageclothing.com/store/p/6889-Vintage-60-s-Ivory-Couture-Lace-Wedding-Evening-Dress-w-Train-M-L.html?feed=froogle
Full length too...by casual I mean we'd be having a farm/or mountain top wedding. No church.
@sjones724 I LOVE the third one you posted. (The second one in your second comment!) Now, I wonder if it coul be made full length.
@missBiner Thats my favorite too! it would look great full length.
It says she can change it to your specifiics..
I feel like im spamming you but im at work and this is fun to look for!
Oh i missed the full length aspect. for some reason i had it in my head you wanted a short dress! oye.
That last one is kinda awesome too.
Hmmm. I wish I were engaged so that I could actually try stuff on and get a clearer picture of what I want!
I like this...And could wear a bolero. Can anyone identify this dress? There was no source where I found it.

And this! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3672990&id=194035812389&ref=mf
Pronovias has some gorgeous sleeved dresses. Some gorgeous dresses. I think Opera may be my favorite.

I like that one you posted w/o sleeves but i cant give u any info on it, ive never seen it before sorry!
Cassablanca will custom make a gown for you from their dress inventory. I just ordered a gown to made to length with a different top and skirt for the gown of my dreams...saves you money at that rate too. Also, check out Forever Yours bridal gowns. They have new styles going back to sleeves, fuller coverage backs and more modest casual vibe. Good Luck!
oooh that's gorgeous.
and I'm looking at the Martin Mcrea website now. I DIE! This is fantastic!

I was wondering if there's such a thing as a 3/4 or full lenth sleeve dress out there with a casual vibe?
Everything I find is 'modest' or 'cathedral ready'. Or way too super fancy.
